Sunflower oil fatty acids

Sunflower oil fatty acids (CAS 84625-38-7), also known commercially as Emery 244, are derived from the hydrolysis of sunflower oil and consist predominantly of linoleic and oleic acid fractions.

They function as functional intermediates and surface-active components across food processing, personal care manufacturing, coatings, and industrial lubrication applications worldwide.

In personal care formulations, these fatty acids contribute moisturizing and emulsifying performance in creams, lotions, and conditioning products for skin and hair care.

Coatings and alkyd resin manufacturers use them as reactive building blocks in drying oil formulations, where the unsaturated fatty acid profile influences film formation and flexibility.

Industrial lubricant producers incorporate them into metalworking fluids and bio-based lubricant blends as a renewable, functional base component for high-performance machinery.

In food-grade applications, they serve as processing aids and emulsifier precursors where vegetable-derived fatty acid sourcing is required for specific dietary or regulatory needs.

The material is supplied as a liquid at ambient or slightly elevated temperatures, typically in bulk, IBC, or drum packaging to meet various industrial volume requirements.

Food-grade and technical-grade specifications are available, with food-grade material conforming to FCC purity standards. Iodine value and composition profiles are standard quality parameters.
